Wasn't there a thread yesterday saying that Google predicted a Conservative majority?

The polling companies earn a huge amount of money ... getting it wrong.

Google just tot up the search hits ... and get it spot on.

and those same companies will be doing all sorts of polls and reseach as to why people voted as they did and why labour got its rs kickedetc etc and people will still believe the guff they churn out.....

That old chap who put £30,000 on a Con majority last week looks pretty savvy now.

Well, good for him.

I just hope he doesn't make a habit of such impulsive gambling.
